Ducrocq in demand

By Adam Marshall

PIERRE DUCROCQ looks set to leave Derby County, with Strasbourg making an approach for the Frenchman.

The midfielder was loaned to The Rams by Paris Saint Germain, but seems unlikely to extend his stint at Pride Park following the side's relegation from the top flight.

However, he may be willing to look at other possibilities of remaining in England if a Premiership side declares an interest in his services.

Strasbourg coach Ivan Hasek would like to bring him to Alsace, but there could be a problem in finding the fee required to persuade PSG to cash in on the 25-year-old, who headed for Derby last October.

The capital club are said to be demanding around é¼4 million for his signature.

Agent Bruno Satin is likely to gauge the level of interest in his client before deciding upon his next move.
